    摘要: An apparatus for setting a digital setpoint for a self-powered current sensing switch includes a current transformer, a digital processor and a parallel converter for converting the AC output of the current transformer to a DC power source for the digital processor along a first path and into a digital signal which is input to the digital processor along a second path. The apparatus also includes a manually operated switch coupled to the digital processor and having a calibration mode position, code segments executing on the digital processor to convert the digital signal to a digital setpoint value when the manually operated switch is in the calibration mode position, and non-volatile memory for storing the digital setpoint value.

    摘要: A magnetometer that senses low level currents flowing in a conductor or wire includes two cores with excitation windings on each core that are connected in series but which are wound in opposite orientations. A periodic alternating current drives the windings. Since the windings are in series but oppositely wound, the current flowing through the windings will produce equal but opposite flux flows in the two cores. A sensing winding is wound around both cores to provide flux profiles. A digital processor analyzes a quiescent flux profile, which is generated when no sense current is flowing through the dual cores, and distorted flux profiles when sense currents are flowing through the dual cores to measure a sense current flowing through the dual cores.
